Popis: D-blade is a relatively new device in the field of videolaryngoscopy, designed for airway management by enabling indirectoscopic glottic view. In our study, we investigated efficiency of D-blade in comparison with direct Macintosh laryngoscope (gold standard). Fifty-two adult patients with normal airway scheduled for elective surgery in general anesthesia were randomly assigned in D-blade video or direct Macintosh group. In the first video group, patients were laryngoscoped and intubated by D-blade, and in the second group laryngoscopy and intubation were performed by Macintosh laryngoscope. Glottic view was evaluated according to Cormack Lehane grading system (C-L), while duration of intubation and easiness of intubation were evaluated according to the intubation difficulty score (IDS). Additionally, hemodynamic parameters were recorded before and after induction. There were no statistically significant between-group differences in time to intubation, easiness of endotracheal tube insertion, C-L, and IDS. In comparison with direct Macintosh laryngoscope, D-blade showed similar but still favorable characteristics. In our opinion, D-blade is a useful device in airway management and should be used in daily anesthesiologist work.
D-blade je relativno nov uređaj na području videolaringoskopije koji omogućava isključivo indirektan prikaz glotisa. U našem istraživanju uspoređivali smo učinkovitost D-blade-a s direktnim Macintoshevim laringoskopom koji predstavlja zlatni standard. Pedeset dvoje bolesnika s normalnim dišnim putem, predviđeni za elektivnu kiruršku operaciju u općoj anesteziji, randomizirano su dodijeljeni u skupinu video D-blade ili direktnog Macintosha. U prvoj skupini bolesnici su bili laringoskopirani i intubirani video D-blade-om, a u drugoj skupini su bili laringoskopirani i intubirani Macintoshevim laringoskopom. Za procjenu prikaza glotisa koristili smo klasifikaciju Cormack Lehane (C-L), dok smo trajanje intubacije i lakoću intubacije procjenjivali koristeći ljestvicu bodovanja težine intubacije (engl. intubation difficulty score, IDS). Hemodinamske parametre smo bilježili prije i nakon indukcije. Između dviju skupina nije bilo statistički značajne razlike u vremenu intubacije, lakoći uvođenja tubusa, klasifikaciji C-L i IDS-u. Prema rezultatima našega istraživanja zaključujemo da u usporedbi s Macintoshevim laringoskopom D-blade pokazuje povoljne karakteristike te bi mogao biti uveden u svakodnevni rad anesteziologa.
